The Kansas City Royals announced today that outfielder Jorge Soler and right-handed pitcher Brad Keller have been named Royals Player and Pitcher of the Month, respectively, for the month of July. The awards are determined by a local media vote.
Soler, 27, led the Royals in July with six home runs, 18 RBI, 18 walks, a .409 on-base percentage and a .544 slugging percentage. His career-high 26-game on-base streak from June 30-July 30 was the longest active streak in the Majors when it was snapped on Wednesday, and was the longest streak by a Royal within one season since Billy Butler reached in 32 straight from May 31-July 5, 2013.
